Hey everybody!
I downloaded the C25K app, as I am interested in doing a 5k sometime in the near future.
Anyways, I was wondering, I don't own a treadmill and the road I live on isn't exactly safe for running or walking on because people drive down it at crazy 80+mph speeds. So I have a fairly large yard and my house is a converted school building, our basement is still the "cafeteria/gym". Would that work? I'm thinking I could use our yard while the weather is still nicer and then move to the cafeteria/gym/basement when it gets cold and weather is inclimate? My husband thinks it's crazy and doesn't understand why I want to "kill myself" doing a 5k but it is something I have wanted to do for a while and I told him a good supportive husband will be at the finish line cheering me on. 
I can't see why it wouldn't work? But I also don't know either.

There's only one way to find out. Give it a go and good luck. I signed up to do a 5k walk n hubby thought I was crazy..... It was only a walk lol but he was the main one telling everyone that I was doing a 10k run and how proud of me he was. I was too embarrassed to correct him. I'm doing a 5k run in December and I haven't told him yet lol0
